Hoffenheim vs Schalke
GERMANY: Bundesliga
This will be a very tight match, no doubt. True, hosts have great shape lately. In fact, during the whole new season. They are currently on the 6th place with 6-2-4 and with a goal difference of 27:18 after 12 rounds. So, they, Eintracht Frankfurt and Dortmund are in the best form in the Bundesliga. However, they were defeated (2: 3) in the Champions League in the last match against Shakhtar Donetsk. They remained without the chance for the knockout phase in Group F. Otherwise, they showed little in the Champions League. As things stand, they are focused on the Bundesliga. Obviously, there is a great deal of discrepancy between their performances in the domestic league and the international competition. They obviously ignored the Champions League. Why? This is not clear to many experts.
So, come back in the Bundesliga. They have 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses in the last five h2h matches. Also, they have great problems with injuries. But their opponent also has problems of the same kind. Nelson (6 goals) will probably return to the team. However, Joelinton (4 goals) is doubtful. Rupp will miss the match. Kramaric (4 goals) will be on the field.
On the other hand, visitors also defeated FC Porto (3: 1) away. However, they will go to the knockout stage in the Champions League. Very interesting, they have poor results in the domestic league, but on the other hand they are quite a solid team in the Champions League. This is completely opposite to their opponent. Otherwise, they have average results. He has 4 wins with a goal difference of 13:17 so far. On the other hand, they have 1-1-3 on the road in the new season. So, they will try to rely on Skrzybski (2 goals), Burgstaller 2 goals), Bentelab and the others without Embolo in this match.
All in all, this should be a home win. However, the hosts will try to provide strong resistance. The both sides are tired. In any case, this is an equally important match for both sides. According to statistics, this is a clean home win. However, the statistics are one, and this is a real match. There are three options here: Home win with Odd 1.75, second BTTS-Yes with Odd 1.53 and Under 3.5 goals with Odd 1.61. All three offers are acceptable. I would opt for the third option because I believe that both sides will be cautious in this one.
